Bob A well made ship. Be proud and thank you for sharing. Beautiful work and lovely to behold! Alistair -
Hi Robert You may feel it is slow going but you are setting a very, very high standard. A benchmark. Beautiful jointing. We'll get impatient to see more progress but as good as it is we'll just have to learn to wait and enjoy it when it is posted! Cheers Alistair

Beautifully made Bob - as you always do. An interesting subject and a very fine model to highlight it. Congratulations and thank you for sharing. Cheers Alistair

Hi Ken Just spotted your question...no I can't - all the photos of the build were lost when my hard drive failed. All my model files for the AVS and many other ships that I was researching and scheduling just disappeared. I'm only just starting to realise how much I lost, nothing compared to the MSW V1 crash though... I attach drawings of my memory of the process and a picture of the result on the finished ship. Best I can do I'm afraid. It is a cheats method but at this scale you can't even see knots this small in such rope. I think the rope was 0.25mm diameter. The bouy is about 10 - 12mm long. It is as close I can zoom in with my camera and an observant eye would see that my bouy rope has two cut ends...one too many. Cheers Alistair

Hi Ryland, great to see this back up on the logs. Your work is so crisp and clean and does perfect justice to this great model. Your's is a benchmark! I look forward to seeing your progress (although I know from MSW V1 that you are further ahead...). Cheers Alistair P.S. I just figured I can save from here my AVS photos so although I lost everything else due to my computer failure, I can still get back my photos. Phew.

Great stuff Chris. Your attention to lifting up the details is fantastic. A good guide for future builders = me! Cheers Alistair

Hi Jim Great to see you back here and Bluenose is looking great. Such an elegant hull and very well executed. Like Jay I'd worry about the dories when it comes to rigging but I'm sure you're in control. I'll be keeping up with your log. Thanks for posting. Cheers Alistair

Hi David Looks like we'll all be back soon. Great work on the Niagara - followed you on MSW 1. It also great that we are all re-populating this site. It would be good to have your AVS build photos back too! Cheers, Alistair

Hi Hamilton Look time no hear. Your Pinky looks really great. I'm sorely tempted by this kit and also followed Dan's log so hope it returns too. It is a great subject and makes a fine model. Cheers Alistair

Hi all, Thought I'd reload my photo files of my AVS build. Hopefully useful for someone contemplating or making this great model. No words to go with the files but feel free to fire me a question if you wish. Cheers, Alistair
